Nate Diaz: Thomson scared, Benson weird, Gil the real champ

Nate Diaz recently appeared on a special edition of BJPenn Radio an a remarkably compelling one hour interview.

Among the points conveyed by Diaz were:
A few points of interest:
•The ref stoppage was early in the last Saturday's fight with Josh Thomson at UFC on Fox 7.
•Thomson was scared, more scared than anyone he fought to date.
•The would fight Thomson again, right now.
•He won't fight at 155 again, unless it is against Thomson, to avenge another loss, or for a #1 contender spot.
•Benson Henderson is weird.
•Benson is not the true lightweight champion, Gil Melendez is.
•Gray Maynard should not get a title shot.

"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."

I was starting to think Nate was maturing a little bit and not always going to be like his brother. So many things wrong with what he said above but the worst one was complaining about the ref stoppage. Cause he clearly missed his corner throwing in the towel before the ref had even stopped the fight.

How dare you use such substantiated evidence to argue his logical points(?)

These guys are sad! Hell the whole team. As much as I don't care for Shields and Melendez I don't believe we hear this nonsense from them. I think those two would do their careers a benefit if they moved to another camp.
